BRIEF ON SPORTS IN CRPF

Known for its high standards of discipline as Central Armed Police Force, the CRPF has carved a niche for itself in the field of Sports. Since its inception as the "Crown Representative Police” from 1939, Sports became an integral part of its culture. On being renamed as the "Central Reserve Police Force” in the year 1949 and reconstituted as one of the Armed Forces of the Indian Union, Sports became an organized activity in the Force with the aim of "Fight to Win”. The Force then started organizing the intra-mural Sports Competitions on regular basis to give a chance to all of its ranks to participate and display their sporting talents.

It was in 1953, the Force had participated in the All India Police Games and registered its first entry in the game of National level. Initially starting with low key, the Force rose to the level of the Champions dominating All India Police and National Games for year together. The CRPF hit the headlines of International Sports when one of its Athletes, namely Shri Gurbachan Singh Randhawa won the Gold Medal in Decathlon in 1962 Asian Games at D’Jakarta and become fifth in the 110 Mtr Hurdles event in 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Since then, the force has never looked back and goes on scaling the new heights in Sports. Its sports persons have brought laurels for the Country by excelling in the National and International Sporting events.

The Sports persons of CRPF got 2(two) Padamashree, 01(One) Rajeev Gandhi Khel Ratna and 16(Sixteen) Arjuna Awards for the outstanding contribution to the Indian Sports.
